Improving The Quality of Student Learning Through Time Management Training: An Experimental Research
Abstract
This study aims to explore and test the effectiveness of time management training in improving the quality of student learning at SMP Negeri 1 Proppo. The main focus of the research is how time management techniques such as prioritization, scheduling, execution, and evaluation can help students manage their time more effectively and improve their academic performance. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type, where data is collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis methods to identify the main patterns and themes that emerged. The results show that time management training has a significant positive impact on students' ability to manage time and improve the quality of their learning. Students who take part in the training feel more organized, focused, and productive in completing their tasks. These findings are in line with the theory of self-regulated learning and time management, which emphasizes the importance of self-regulation and efficient time allocation in achieving high academic achievement. The implication of this study is that time management training programs should be integrated into school curricula to help students develop essential time management skills from an early age.
